I see the new TF300 comes in a little bit lighter (and not just on price), but not that much. Never having owned an iPad, I've not had the opportunity to compare, but I don't find the TF101 to be unmanageably heavy.

For some reason, I suddenly envisioned nelz as the personification of Hedonismbot from Futurama, bunch of grapes in one hand, iPad in the other, complaining that the Transformer was just too heavy to be worth lifting.

Good point, although I think our expectations were lower back then - and the ability to carry it in a jacket pocket made up for the somewhat fiddly typing. I had one of the old 9" Eee PCs and the keyboard on that wasn't brilliant if you have large hands, whereas the Transformer keyboard is near enough full size.

Hmm, something the size of a Series 5 running Android would be rather nice.
